Is anyone else ready to see some live music because I sure am! As it turns out, artists have been missing performing on the road, too. And don't get me started on all of the previously shuttered venues.

I've only been to Billy Bob's Texas once, but I had an amazing time! And yes, I rode the mechanical bull! I loved how darn close you could actually get to the stage. Even though it's a big venue, it feels intimate. That's why I got so excited when I started seeing shows being booked there again. First, it was east Texas' own Miranda Lambert. Then it was Thomas Rhett. I was like dang! Those are both shows I'd like to see even if we hadn't been locked up for the last year!

It turns out that Billy Bob's Texas is celebrating kind of a big deal. They turn 40 this year! They've hosted over 17 million visitors since April 1981 in the Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District. In honor of this auspicious occasion, they've booked some of the biggest acts, well, ever! Some of the shows already on the books include Hank Williams Jr., Larry, Steve & Rudy: The Gatlin Brothers, Midland, Dwight Yoakam, Miranda Lambert, The Bellamy Brothers, and more!

Now, some of these shows are already sold out and I'm sure capacity will fluctuate depending on their local government and Governor Greg Abbott, so I haven't lost hope yet. In fact, I intend to set up ticket alerts for some of the shows on secondary retail sites. Once you get a look at their talent lineup, I'm pretty sure you'll be doing the same thing.
